    This house was a very nice place to stay. The hosts were great with communication and the view of the lake was beautiful. Although we didn't spend much time at the house, it was a great place to come to for rest and relaxation after a long day of wedding set up and wedding day activities.

    Great house! This is the second time we've stayed here. Very spacious, comfortable beds and plenty of parking. The basement ping pong table room is a nice bonus too!

    My family and I stayed 6 days at this beautiful home right on Smith Lake. It’s spacious and well laid out, with multiple living spaces for all ages to spread out and not feel cramped. Lots of extras provided, like plenty of beach towels, kayaks and life jackets for our use. While we experienced a few not optimal conditions (house had not been well cleaned before our arrival, pet hair on the floor, rug and furniture), the host was very apologetic and refunded a portion of the fee. Just be aware if you have someone with pet hair allergies that this may be an issue. The lake itself is BEAUTIFUL!! One of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. And this area didn’t seem to be super crowded or busy with boaters, which was perfect for us since we had several younger kids. We pretty much had this end of the lake to ourselves for most of the stay.

    Our family and 2 others (12 people) stayed here for a weekend reunion. There was plenty of room for everyone and the game room was great to keep kids entertained without electronics. The lake was beautiful and we all enjoyed lounging and swimming off the dock. The kayaks were also great! I would definitely recommend staying here!.

    My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! Plenty of room to spread out, yet come together on the lovely back porch overlooking the lake or gather in the fantastic kitchen to share meals together. Pamela was a wonderful host, very accommdating and responsive. We would definite love to stay here again!

    Host was very friendly and kept communication open as needed. Even volunteered to mail us something we left behind. House was in a nice location, not hard to get to, very spacious, and had plenty of parking. The whole transaction was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again.

    The location was very easy to access from the interstate and State highway. The location is very close to the nearest marina for boat launching and fuel access. The home is positioned in a nice cove to get away from the major traffic area. It was perfect for our family 10.
